⁣⁣Solar storm will hit Earth Today (Aug. 3)

High-speed solar winds from a "hole" in the sun's atmosphere are set to hit Earth's magnetic field Today (Aug 3.), triggering a minor G-1 geomagnetic storm.

As a G1 geomagnetic storm, it has the potential to cause minor fluctuations in power grids and impact some satellite functions — including those for mobile devices and GPS systems. It will also bring the aurora as far south as Michigan and Maine in the US.
